Basketball legend Larry Bird’s son was arrested Sunday in Bloomington, Ind., after he allegedly tried to hit his ex-girlfriend with a car, Indiana University Police Department Chief Keith Cash said, according to the Indianapolis Star.

"It is a private matter we are hoping to resolve as quickly as possible," Bird’s attorney, John Tompkins, told rTV6, Indianapolis’ ABC affiliate. "We are happy no one was seriously hurt."

According to police, trouble began after Bird and the ex-girlfriend got into a dispute Sunday at his Bloomington apartment. Bird threw a cell phone at the unidentified woman, police said.

Later, police said, Bird waited at her home and then took her to a parking lot to talk things over. However, they got into another altercation, police said, and the woman got out of Bird’s car to walk home.

That’s when, according to police, Bird twice tried to run her over with his car. Another IU student witnessed the incident, police said, and took the woman to the IU Police Department to report the incident.

Campus police quickly located Bird and arrested him, TMZ.com reported. He was taken to the Monroe County Jail after his arrest, rTV6 added.

This is not Connor Bird's first run-in with the law, according to TMZ. He reportedly was arrested in 2011 for underage drinking and disorderly conduct.
